Please join us Wednesday, February 13th, networking at 9:30am, meeting will begin at 10am, at Middle Country Library in Centereach. We will be discussing podcasting practices in the library with Salvatore DeVincenzo of Milddle Country Library and Chris Kretz of Stony Brook Southampton Library.

Lisa Owens will be discussing the services provided by Long Island Cares. Long Island Cares brings together all available resources for the benefit of the hungry and food insecure on Long Island and provides for the humanitarian needs of the community. Their goals are to improve food security for families, sponsor programs that help families achieve self-sufficiency, and educate the general public about the causes and consequences of hunger on Long Island.

We will showcase the fine marketing and publicity done by those libraries who submitted to the SLMA Award this past year. These are the best of the best, so a great way to get new ideas for your library.

Jaci Clement, Executive Director of the Fair Media Council, a nonprofit organization with a two-sided mission that works directly with the news media and the public to improve the public conversation and ensure an informed electorate, will teach us how to become more media savvy for our libraries.

Start thinking about any publicity or marketing you have done since 9/16/18, and consider submitting it for the 2019 SLMA Award (deadline – 9/15/19).
